I’m using the default here, but you can change perspective via the lens setting if needed. Next, I activate Headshot’s Image Matching Tool, which brings up an overlay of the original photo based on the software’s estimation of the original camera orientation and settings. I’ll be using Headshot’s Image Matching approach to improve the alignment further, but first I can make some quick texture improvements by switching the surrounding skin type here and adding some procedural hair and stubble mapping. Once the photo is loaded into Headshot, with an appropriate skin and body type selected – and you press the Generate button – a character is created with the photo mapped to the face and the model’s features aligned more or less accurately depending on how well the software has picked up the features. The Automatically Generated Model is Just the Start For me, even when working on challenging subjects like this, the first step is always to reduce head tilt as well as to perform some initial de-lighting in Photoshop. The Better the Photo, the Better the ModelĪ good photo for use with Headshot will be taken face on to the subject, evenly lit, and with the subject’s face in a neutral, closed mouth expression – using Headshot’s Pro Mode, this will always provide a better a better starting point for more detailed work.
